15. Green chilies - 7 of them

Optional Ingredients:

1. Garam masala powder - half tsp
2. Raw garam masala

Direction for Chicken Curry:

Take a pan and put 3 tbsp of oil and let it turn hot. Add chopped onions and fry them; wait for them to turn golden brown. Add ginger and garlic paste. Cook for 2 minutes and add chicken. Stir the mixture for 10-15 minutes. Add zeera (cumin). Add tomato. Put haldi (turmeric) powder, red chili powder and dhaniya (coriander) powder. Cook for 10-15 minutes. Add water to make curry as per needed (I added 1 and three quarters of drinking glass). Now add salt as per taste and garam masala powder (optional) and mix it well. Add chopped green chilies. Cook it for 2-3 minutes. Add yogurt. Cook for 10 minutes. It's ready!

Why should we add salt in last?
Salt slows down the fester process. To let the meat/chicken suppurate, add the salt as the last ingredient always.  

Direction for Boiled Mint Rice:

Put the ratio 2:1 of water to rice (I took 1.5 glass of rice so there were 3 glasses of water). Add salt according to taste. Add mint leaves, 3 tsp of oil in boiling water, raw garam masala (optional). When water starts getting boiled, put rice. Let rice boil for 10-13 minutes. Stain water. And put rice in a pan. Turn on low flame for 2 minutes. It's ready to serve.

Tandoori Smoked Chicken

Tandoori Smoked Chicken with Roghni Naan

Ingredients:

1. Chicken - 1 kg (7-9 pieces)
2. Yogurt - 200 gms
3. Vinegar - 3 tbsp
4. Ginger paste - 1 tbsp
5. Garlic paste - 1 tbsp
6. Lemon juice - 2 tbsp
7. Cooking oil - 3 tbsp
8. Salt - according to taste
9. Red chili powder - half tsp
10. Cumin (Zeera) - 1 tsp
11. National Tandoori Chicken Mix - 1 packet

Direction:

Mix everything after gashing the chicken with rough knife cuts on the surface. Let the chicken marinate for 2 to 3 hours for better results. Put it all in a pan and let the mixture dry on a low flame. And let the chicken be tender as much as you like. Serve with roghni naan (flatbread)!

What's special?

I took a yummy detour and tried smoking entire thing using coal. You can also try, but it is optional. Let a few pieces of coal turn red by turning on the flame and put it inside a steel utensil and place on top of tandoori chicken. Spill 1 tsp oil on burning coal and cover the pan. Let chicken absorb the aroma of this delicious add-on!

Why I used steel utensil to smoke my chicken?

Recent studies show that aluminum foils are dangerous to health.
